Hi Friends. Today I am using the April Main kit to create a fun layout. I love the mix of patterned papers in this kit but was really taken with the paint swatch paper – Paint Box. How could I use this more creatively?
I liked the idea of lifting the swatches slightly to add some dimension and texture to the background. To do this, I used a ruler and knife to cut the 3 edges of the swatches. I could then lightly curl the bottom of the swatch.
Want to create layouts like this? Our monthly kits include coordinated papers, embellishments, and supplies to bring your scrapbook pages to life.
Next to create more interest, I added a mixed media border to the left hand side matching up the colours to the main paper.
To do this, I used the mixed media stamps from the March Color kit – my new favourite stamps! They make adding colour to your page so easy!
I stitched the two papers together and added some twine before layering die-cuts from the main kit.
I tucked in tags which were fussy cut from the patterned paper plus chipboard frame and sentiment.
You can see my process over on YouTube today:
Thanks so much for watching. I hope you like this technique.
I would love to see what you create. Don’t forget to share with us on our Facebook group.
See you next time!
